We skipped off to a friend’s house in Connecticut for the long weekend. It was the perfect tiny vacation because it was the same distance to Piper’s house as it is from our apartment, so we still got to spend every day with her. It’s crazy that you can be so close to the city and have it be so completely different. For instance, I could not get over the fact that I didn’t hear a single siren the entire weekend. Not one. They are pretty much back to back in the city. There is always something sireny going on here.

I was feeling all womany and weird when we were all going to go for a long run, so I ended up biking along instead. I so regretted it, because it was such a beautiful course. You wouldn’t believe how tired you get of doing the same 3 or 4 paths/routes in the city. Unless you feel like stopping at the end of every block for a light, you have to stick to bridges, paths and parks. Which are all beautiful, but you do get sick of them. I have riverside and central park memorized. I could seriously be all “hey when did that bush get planted?” at this point.

Below is when we were about to leave for our run. The car on the right is ours. We love it but our lease is almost over. I’m sad because I have really loved having a car that kind of looks like it has hair.

I decided to try one of the stretched arm pictures to document the outting and It worked perfectly. I have monkey arms, so naturally the arm stretch picture taking is a great talent of mine.

The only other time we left the house (besides seeing piper) was to go to lunch here. It was pretty. I like good ole Connecty. It’s a nice place.

Also, I ordered a “wedge” style sandwich because I had never heard of that. Our friend explained that it was like a hogie, so I got pumped. It ended up being huge! I could not believe it, sorry it’s cut out of the picture, but just trust me on this one. I could only eat half of it, and me not finishing my meal is a very rare thing.
